DY, How do you remember that one?
gefen: Jothar’s not going to let this by. Right? Isn’t giving my English bday too, in effect giving my EXACT DOB too? I’d rather not.
Mods, It’s called “Doing Chesed With Mentchlichkeit”
I was trying to imply that!
Gefen: !!! I guess we share that too!!!
Forgot. Most of what I wrote was based on shiurim I attended or heard on tapes from Rabbi Miller ??”?.
Generally most of my sensible writings can be attributed to him.
It should be plain to differentiate the serious from the otherwise.
Someone once wrote about respect for the Giver of the food!
One more thing, you’re lucky you were able to eat. Iv’e had (having) a stomach virus for some time now, and I’m invited to party after party. H E L P !!!
Moishy, don’t worry. Us little ones don’t make it.
But yes, I do remember you. You don’t post that often. I suspect you have more important things to do in your life. HOW I ENVY YOU!!!
Oh, always – I haven’t been to Hollywood for some time now. But from what Iv’e heard, just a glance at statistics will show the truth.
The best marriages are the ones built according to the blueprint of the Master Designer. Selflessly. Harmoniously.
In fact these Middos are so foreign to the umos, all they’re interested in is “what and how can (capital) I get the most of him/her”. (looks etc. money..) They see kids (brats) as getting in their way of “pursuit of happiness”, so it’s going to be 1.5 children, 1 cat, 1 dog.
We, lahavdil, marry to attain shleimus through a lifelong career of bestowing chesed on one’s spouse, and children ??”? to come. Each one is a blessing, one to share love and shower with chesed.
We take a tip from Poppy. Our Father in Heaven. He created this world to be ???? to His creations, because it is the ??? of a ??? to be ????. – So ?? ??? ???? ????? ?? ??? ???? ?????.
A Yavan in Sukkah, of course!
Can’t vote.
I’ve had a terrible (stomach) virus for some days. Can’t eat any!!! (just looking at any…)
Imagine the Democrats and Republicans etc. would hate parties.
Always:
I don’t think we “respect” the bread because “it” is feeding us. I think we respect food because that is the conduit through with which HaShem bestows on us His great kindness. Something akin to holding dear a souvenir, gift from a king. I think I once heard/saw this reason.
Shticky: I second you on that. I miss them both, tons! Those two got me (addicted) here in the first place. Especially Eclipse, with her moving, emotional, touching pieces. I enjoyed EVERY ONE of them.
Chicago? How far is that from Kensington? (that’s the suburb I reside in) I don’t think I’ll be coming there in the near future. But hey, you never know!
Isn’t this whole thing sooo silly?
How can someone, born out of wedlock, a CONFESSED mamzer, become a getshka?
People know each other here?! WOW!!!!
(anyone know me?)
One thing I’d like to point out.
If a child indeed goes to Shul, and sees his father davening insincerely, shmoozing, laughing, he will pick up on it NO MATTER WHAT. No amount of bribes, rewards or punishments can undo the detrimental chinuch a parent exudes. At least when their children are around, fathers should put on a show of utmost respect for HaSHem’s House, utmost sincerity and concentration in the Tefillah.
That’s just my humble view.
Jan. 1 actually does symbolize something. It’s Rosh Hashana l’umos. Distantly related (lehavdil) to the 4 Rosh Hashanas mentioned in talmud, again – distantly. But I believe seforim do talk about it’s minute significance.
Thanks, Dr. Kaufman.
Gummy, Mazel Tov. Keep up your cheery being you’ve created here. Always. Take it along with you throughout your productive life.
Hatzlacha Rabba!!!!!!!
Could anyone care to explain / elaborate the difference between bribery and rewarding?
Thanks
Sure, but “vus epes yetst”? Most CR-ites here go with the Jewish calendar. ????? ??? ???, so grouping events by “2011” should have little significance. Anyone disagree?
Here’s a good place to start. Everyone get a good work-over (at least tryouts) on their middos over here!
Before I came here to the CR I was, well, never mind.
Gefen, Tzadiq, how in the world did I get on your radar?
and Jothar, I don’t think Rav Miller ??”? said the chilul Shabbos itself was the cause. I think he said it was the rapid deterioration of Yiddishkeit in Europe (or elsewhere) in general. Chilul Shabbos is a key element to Yiddishkeit, and he observed it personally, that’s why he pointed out Shabbos.
(reading your last post seems to me that you’re actually slightly ridiculing this great Godol, sarcastically. I surely hope that’s not the case.)
Jothar, are you interested in the “troll” or in the “Mechalel Shabbos” r”l? No. Don’t get me wrong. Chilul Shabbos is priority #1 by us. No question whatsoever. However, your style of attacking (however covert and underhanded), is starting to have a negative affect on all of us. I thought CR was something entirely different. When I “fell in” (joined), this was such a warm “home away from home”. Really. Such camaraderie. Friendship. Achdus. Compassionately helping one another. What a warm feeling. Does anyone here remember Eclipse and her saga. How we were all in it together. Nothing like that today. It has turned into a cold place. Accusations. Finger pointing. Suspicions.
How I long for the days of old. I picked out a screen name then, to what I perceived the CR to be, and what I wanted to be. Frightening to think what I would have chosen, had I joined NOW.
Where it came from? Didn’t you ever buy a box of candles?
“..and I will be posting even less often now”
So, you’re threatening us? I’ll have to call CR Threat Bureau, Lt. Jothar.
..will not be here all day..
Once an hour should be fine.
Could anyone indicate which thread?
Perhaps the pytan (inventor of peyut) intended it to be for Chanukah. Perhaps he saw Chanuka as the last of Yomim Tovim (both Torah and Divrei Sofrim) and made an song encompassing all of them.
Donut please. (unboozed)
Do you know how many people don’t like this thread???
(1000 posters minus us six)
An easy one. How would one light an eight candle menorah, for only seven days? Obviously it has to be eight days!
HaLeiVi, It’s when I tried tickling the computer instead of pinging.

Rebbe Booze, I think I forgot to mention, I DON’T DRINK.
Jothar: I thought I wrote in English. No?
Secondly, ????? ???? ????, the ways of the Torah are sweet. The way TO the Torah, and Torah life too. Especially now-days. One cruel, biting word can be fatal. Ask Gedolim. Real Gedolim.
No. This thread I really like.
I like to dislike (to like to dislike..)
During Chol haMoad Chanuka, when seder night falls out on Purim afternoon.
For anyone’s information,
When one is ridiculed, be it anonymously, he/she still feels the very acute pain and anguish of shame and embarrassment. There is definitely “Halbonas Panim”, maybe not in front of a tzibur, but still red hot.
This should certainly come into consideration when interacting / communicating with others.
Remember ????? ????? ??? ????? and in this case the keyboard.
Literally.
Oh, I was wondering…
Gefen, (!!!) Thanks!
Is Zeeskite one name, or two?
Maybe there’s an Eiruv. Nobody thought of that!
“..And then some.”
Some what?
You could attend a Shiur in Daf Yomi.
You could also attend a Daf Yomi Shiur.
